Couple beaten near Lincoln, Oliver

A 27-year-old man told Wichita police he and his girlfriend were attacked and beaten by two men while they were walking home Thursday evening in the 1300 block of South Terrace, near Lincoln and Oliver.

Wichita police Lt. Joe Schroeder said the men approached the 27-year-old from behind and shoved him to the ground, then began "punching and kicking" the couple about 9 p.m. The men demanded the pair turn over their wallets but got away with only a pack of cigarettes, Schroeder said. They ran from the area, he said.

The couple was taken to Via Christi Hospital St. Joseph, according to a police report. They suffered minor injuries, Schroeder said.
